Nose Mosiit Lassoes . Bear.

Last week all the Cnaweep cowboys
were on the round up at the head of
the DOminsuez. They had just finished
moving camp, and Mac ThonasOn
and Nose Motiit were riding along on
their bronchos toward their new quar-
tiers. They had arrived within q mile
of the camp when they discovered a
black bear in the brush. They at
once started off in pursuit of Bruin
and chased him up u tree. They de-
termined to capture him, and, though
totally unarmed save their lstria6s,
succeeded in doing so.
They first cleared away the under
brush from around the tree, so they
could loose their lariats, and at once
commenced the work of roping him.
They rcped him several times, hut
Briiin would with his fore feet throw
the rope off a. quickly as il fell to his
shoulders. Finally Nose Moilit sue
ceeded in fastening him. and, putting
his horse in motion, dragged the bear
from the tree. AS soon as he fell Mac
Thomas son was ready with n club to
dispatch him. which he did with a few
heavy blows across the head. The
boys then went into camp and told
told their adventure O their comrades,
and then, securing knives. went back
and removed the hide. The bear,
when dressed weighed $50 pounds and
was about 2 years old.-Mesa county,
